Grab the atlas gauntlet while you're there. I'm retrieving the other stone from Cait.

[ Two punctures. More than usual, but he jerks anyway, leaning into her while his fingers and toes wind, muscles tensed, everything all off-kilter while the shimmer (oh, sweet shimmer) does its work on him to finally soothe the pain, and the haziness in his eye. It'll take days of treatments to repair the loss, but...

He breathed out as a single tear gathered at the edge of his eye.

He breathed in. Breathed out. ]

Jinx, I'm alive. I'm not exactly going to throw away this opportunity.

[ See, the thing is, Silco had always been bout the cause. Without it, he's aimless. The cracks show. The fact that he was a dead man walking, barely living as it was before shows. He had been motivated by the mission, the need to fix it all, a promise that still settled low in his chest next to his heart, where it pounded over and over again.

He doesn't have that anymore, so what does he have? It's just Jinx. And what a position that puts his daughter into, doesn't it? ]

[Caitlyn's using video for this because it'll tell her a lot more than text. At least, it will if Jinx responds with video.]

Are you the one who suggested Peter Parker speak to me about my mother?

[She's clearly trying to look and sound detached and professional, but there's a distinct undercurrent of 'might go and have some kind of emotional breakdown once this conversation is over.']

You're the one who once called Sevika on ogre, aren't you? You're from the same world as she is?

Pffft. Does it matter if it was me? If you're asking, he did, so, good for you two!

(Read: obviously. She wasn't even subtle in denying anything.)

[jinxs]

ye zaun

why what do you want

her stuff is mine

[clavesregni]

It does matter.

[Consider her bewildered.]

Why? Why would you suggest he do that?

[tocastashadow]

I'm not asking for her things. I'm hoping to get a message to her.

[jinxs]

Because you two needed it. It was something I could help fix.

Want me to take him back?

[jinxs]

... how

you think zaunites are connected through time??? AND SPACE????

[clavesregni]

You w... You really mean that?

[jinxs]

That I'll take him back? Yeah, sheesh, it's not hard, you can do it yourself.

[clavesregni]

No, not— He isn't—

I was referring to your wanting to help fix it.

[jinxs]

Why else would I send you him?! I can't fix it, but you two can figure something out.

[clavesregni]

I don't know! I thought—

I don't know what I thought. [She huffs softly.] That it couldn't have been you, at first. That if it was, it must have been some sort of... of joke or...

After everything you've done, all the suffering you've caused, you're trying to do something kind?

[tocastashadow]

For all I know, you well could be. I've no idea what sort of capabilities people of other worlds might have.

I was more hoping you could deliver a message on the chance you return to your world and see her there. I know people who've gone home and returned say they had no memory of Etraya while they were gone, but who's to say that's always the case? Or will always be the case?
